I sit, thinking quietly to myself

People mill about, chatting and laughing

No one approaches

No one even notices I'm here

 

Alone

In a room full of people

Surrounded, yet isolated

From the world I so desperately want to be a part of

 

I've never fit in, 

Always the odd one out

I felt like nothing I did was ever good enough,

While it seemed to come so easily for everyone else

 

Alone 

In a room full of people

Surrounded, yet isolated

From the people who never gave me a chance

 

"Oh well, they're missing out", I tell myself

They'll never get to know the real me

One day I'll have made something of myself and they'll be trying to make up for lost time

Once that time has passed, it's gone forever 

 

You can't turn back the hands of time,

So choose your words and actions carefully

You never know how they will affect someone else

Not everyone is as strong as they appear to be on the surface

 

So say hello to the shy girl sitting by herself

She's not stuck up or bitchy,

She's just too afraid of rejection to put herself out there

You never know when you might find yourself;

Alone,

In a room full of people
